The book is a thorough analysis of the tragic battle of Karbala that occurred in the nascent years after the death of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.a. The author provides a thorough understanding of the situation that led to the event that took place on Ashura, the tenth day of the Islamic Lunar Calendar of the month of Muharram. A historical presentation that uses verses from the Qur'an and quotes by non-Muslim writers provides a context and insight into the depth surrounding this event that is known as the great sacrifice, in a battle of truth against injustice.
